nit: I'd probably stick a _sym suffix on these macros, to make it clear
that they're just munging the symbol name rather than doing some completely
different pcpu implementation.

THat said, do you expect these to be used outside of the pcpu
implementation? If not, I suggest some underscores as a prefix as well.

is_kernel_in_hyp_mode() reads a system register to determine the current
exception level, so this doesn't seem like something we should be doing
everytime here. Perhaps is_kernel_in_hyp_mode() should avoid read_sysreg()
and instead use a non-volatile asm to allow the result to be cached by
the compiler. Hmm.

But I think that can be tackled as a future patch, so with the naming nits
resolved:
